    Last Call For Papers


    2014 IEEE VIS International Workshop on 3DVis:


    Does 3D really make sense for Data Visualization?


      Context

  *

    The aim of this workshop is to discuss 3D display and 3D user
    interfaces for scientific and information visualization and Visual
    Analytics.

  *

    As such, it is interesting to analyze the state of the art in 3D
    visualization and associated interaction. It is also the good place
    to review how 3D displays and user interfaces match human
    perceptual, cognitive and motor capabilities.

  *

    Indeed, it is the heart of the 2D vs. 3D debate. On the one hand, 3D
    technologies provide additional options for display and interaction,
    which broadens the space of potential solutions considerably.
    Consequently, many 3D visualization approaches have been
    implemented. The recent introduction of low-cost virtual and
    augmented reality hardware further paves the way towards a deeper
    exploration of the design space for 3D visualization. Moreover,
    better consistency in terms of dimensions between the visualization
    and interaction may also improve the immersion and navigation in
    huge amounts of data.

  *

    On the other hand, the experimental results from studies that
    investigate the differences between 2D and 3D visualization
    interfaces provide no real evidence for the claimed benefits of 3D
    technologies. Thus, the current body of literature provides at best
    inconclusive guidance on the benefits of 3D approaches. Moreover, a
    deep consideration of human abilities and capabilities identifies a
    potential mismatch with full 3D user interfaces. Yet, there may be a
    bias in the evaluations, as the prevalent visualization and
    interaction techniques in all areas of visualization are based on
    non-immersive technologies.

  *

    In this workshop, we would like to present evidence for both sides
    of this debate, and also provide directions for future work.


      Description

  *

    This workshop is a satellite event of the IEEE VIS 2014 conference:
    http://ieeevis.org/

  *

    Although 3D interfaces may add additional possibilities for data
    representation as well as more natural interaction, current
    experimental results are inconclusive and the adoption of 3D methods
    by end users is rare.

  *

    This 2D vs. 3D debate, far from having a final answer, is the focus
    of this workshop.

  *

    New low-cost 3D systems make this technology accessible to everyone
    and also enable new modes of interaction. This has the potential to
    facilitate interaction with huge data sets.
